"The truth is that if I wanted to be married with children right now, I would be married with children right now. Everybody thinks that just because they might be searching for a person to spend the rest of their life with, I am [too]. Why is it that with every actress in a relationship, it's like, 'Oh, well, you're with that person because you want to get married and have a baby'? [And] it's not like this is the first time in the history of human relationships that people were drawn to one another because of who they are, not what age they are." Cameron Diaz 1/8/2004
